Preeclampsia is a dangerous pregnancy condition characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems, most often the liver and kidneys. It typically develops after the 20th week of pregnancy. It can also affect other organs in the body and be dangerous for both the mom and her developing fetus. People with preeclampsia struggle with elevated high blood pressure (higher than 140/90 mmHg), and may have high levels of protein in their urine (proteinuria) level of 300 ml.
Although, in some cases preeclampsia may occur with other symptoms such as severe headaches and blurred vision, seeing spots or flashing lights, and in extreme cases, temporary blindness. One might also experience upper abdominal pain, nausea, swelling, and shortness of breath.
